About the Story:

Can real love grow between a wallflower and an unrepentant rogue?

Sarah Drayton is eager to spend time with her best friend at her crumbling Northumberland castle estate. Matrimony is the last thing on her mind and the last thing she expects to be faced with on a holiday. Yet she finds herself being inveigled into a marriage of convenience with her friend’s rakish brother.

When James Langley returns to his family’s estate, he can’t be bothered to pay attention to his responsibilities as the heir. War is raging and he wants only distraction, not serious tethers. But his roguish ways have backed him into a corner, and he has little choice but to obey his father’s stunning decree: marry before returning to war, or else. Suddenly he finds himself wedded to a clever and capable woman he does not love.

Sarah craves love and a place to belong, neither of which James offered before returning to the battlefront. Now everyone around her thinks she married above her station, and they have no intention of rewarding her for such impertinence. It isn’t until her husband returns from war seemingly changed that she begins to hope they may find real happiness. But can she trust that this rake has truly reformed?

When tragedy strikes, this pair must learn to trust God and his plans. Will they be destroyed . . . or will they discover that even in the darkest depths of night, the morning still holds hope?

My Review:

This is the kind of wonderful book that takes you through all the emotions and leaves you cheering when you get to the end. Sarah Drayton has knows little but a life of drudgery with her relatives and thus she jumps at a chance to make a visit to her friend’s home. How her life changes with that choice is both wonderful and heartbreaking. I loved seeing her strength shine through in her arranged marriage. There was so much that could and did break her at times but her faith sustained her when nothing else could. James was a terrible rake that transformed into the most loving hero throughout the pages of the story. He had much history and sorrow to battle against and I loved his journey to redemption. The slow burn of the love story was my favorite part. Neither Sarah nor James had really experienced true love before, beyond God’s love, and yet, they eventually found their way. I absolutely despised Copley and Dawson, they were hideous people and only made things harder on the entire Langley family. Mrs. Broomhead and Even balanced those two terrors out by proving allies for James and Sarah. Them helping the Langleys show each other kindness and love was a great addition to the story. The twist at the end of the story was very well done and I was not expecting it at all. I was glad to see everyone get what they deserved and those who needed it to receive grace and love. I will most certainly be recommending this lovely story to others. It’s one that stays with you long after the last page and draws you back to read it over again.

I received an ARC of this story from Kregel Communications via Audra Jennings PR. I am not required by anyone to write a positive review but am most pleased to do so. I will receive no fiscal compensation for this review and the opinions expressed herein are entirely my own.
